Our beach place is on an inlet. Looks like a lake when the tide is in. We have a six foot bulkhead. When the tide is way way out, I can find beds of sand dollars. They line up in rows on top of each other.

You couldn't find that at the Ocean ... I never did.

I walk the shoreline looking for small sand dollars and parts of what I call ... Nautilus ... shells. The kind tha are curled up ... I'll take a few pics to show you what I mean.

The photos taken were on my property.

I forgot to tell the lucky winners ~ I'm going to add a few sand dollars to their gift baskets.

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
